Well. So the electrician came out and hooked up the electrical line from my breaker box to the easy touch breaker panel and thats about all he did. One of the pool crew came by to start the pump and the electrician had NOT hooked up the control cables from the easy touch to the pumps, nor installed the lights and he was definitely supposed to install the lights - apparently they need a junction box which separates the wet environment from a dry one. My PB has said his other guys are going to do it.
Oh and there was no open ditch inspection, and no inspector ever came around. At this point we have to assume he is part of the New Iberia "Old Boy Network" but I'm not happy. I get the distinct impression, neither is my PB. Still not my problem. He did do it correctly from what I can tell. Its all bonded correctly and grounded correctly, thankfully I'm educated enough on electricity to be able to tell. He also hooked up the screen logic box, which works! Yay. Can't get into the settings as the easy touch is still in service mode - just running the main pump for the moment to at least get the pool circulating and filtering out the plaster dust. I actually got in the pool today to try and brush it better - just standing on the benches. Because the water is a tad chilly. Screen logic says its 69*. I'm quite sad I don't need a thermometer. Froggy has been given the boot, I might have to change my avatar...
Oh and the pool guy chucked some chlorine tabs in the skimmers before he left. Its a miracle he got them working at all, since he had no tools with him to remove the skimmer plug. Luckily my house is like a Home Depot and we have tools for just about everything, including big enough 12pt sockets to remove a skimmer plug.
PB is coming out in the morning to add the rest of the chemicals he wants to add. I took the liberty of dusting off the old test kit, and me and PB are going to have a little discussion about numbers tomorrow. My calcium is much lower than we were expecting.
Oh and I have no pics whatsoever. I took a video, then got distracted by face timing my Mom and brushing the pool. Then it got dark, if I can turn the video into a gif I'll post it later or you'll have to wait for tomorrow for pics of pea soup flowing over the spillover.
Ok I kinda lied about completely no pics. My dog whose usual position is sleeping on the back of one of the couches has found her spa spot...
